Here are a few concrete examples: [all 3 are just library additions that exist outside the standard already] This may not have been the intent, but the way I read it, it's saying that language evolution is now pointless and only library additions can be considered. That would be a pretty dire situation for C++ overall. Never mind that this means many language issues will never be fixed, it would also mean that implementations face the burden of yet more standard library additions which quickly fall behind external libraries because of the added burden of ABI lockin, and now multiplied by several vendors vs just one third party library.
